'I think he decided to go for baseball because he could throw the ball really, really hard.'

I agree, OTOH, don't forget that incredible curve ball.

Don't know if this has been told.

A story goes around illustrating Teddy ballgame's superb eye at the plate.

Rookie pitcher throws hard one inside. Williams takes. Ump says ball 1. Rookie stares in and shakes his head. Throws another pitch outside edge. Ted takes. Ump says ball 2. The rookie is livid and comes half way down towards the plate and yealls to the umpire. When do you call a strike around here? The umps says son, Mr. Williams will let you know when it's a strike.
